Great Lakes: Inspired NetWorkers – How Did You Send That Thing?. By MARK STURGELL
Video email. I had never seen it before; at least, not like this. I was immediately engaged by the "filmstrip" in the body of the message, which beckoned me to "click here". I clicked [yes, it really is that easy] and expanded my growing professional network in the form of Doug Hart, an attorney and recently-turned entrepreneur, National NetWorker Great Lakes reader, and infectious enthusiast for growing your network using fully integrated, web-based video communications.

Southwest: Fair-Weathered Networking? By BETTE DAOUST, Ph.D.
Wow, the networking scene is exploding in Silicon Valley, as a matter of fact, there are more new groups every month this year, then there were in total over the last 3 years.

Network Marketing: Would You Sponsor YOURSELF? By CANDY WEBB
Everyone in network marketing knows that the success of their business is just two or three "great people" away. In a business driven by recruiting the "right kind" of people to join you, it is necessary to always be open for the right person when they cross your path. Some networkers advertise, some buy leads, some like myself have depended almost entirely on the "warm market"...but the age old question is the same regardless of the methodology – What are the characteristics of the perfect distributor?

Networking Success with IVAN MISNER, Ph.D.
We now live in a fully global society where it is imperative to have an awareness of cultural differences as they relate to networking etiquette. We often notice differences within our own states.
